KBI 310545 Issue Addressed: SNMP Variable For Delta Values Not Working In Formula

Version

Argent AT 3.1A-1307-A or above

Date

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

Summary

If a customer defines the delta value of a SNMP OID as a variable, then uses the variable in a formula, the formula calculation will be incorrectly based on the original SNMP OID metric instead of the delta value.

Technical Background

A typical example is to calculate in/out bandwidth usage in bits

The SNMP interface provides the usage in octet units. Customers need to multiply the octets by 8 to get the bit value

Resolution

Upgrade to Argent AT 3.1A-1307 or above
